Canadian National has reached a tentative agreement with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, the company announced, which eliminates the union’s threat of a strike.
CN said details of the three-year contract are being withheld pending ratification, according to a news release from the company.
Jim Vena, CN's executive vice president and chief operating officer, stated, “We commend the leadership of the TCRC-CTY for reaching consensus with the company and averting a possible strike. This will ensure continued service to our customers in a very challenging environment where extreme winter conditions have hampered CN operations and affected service levels.”
Vena also said CN will work with union leaders to explain the terms of agreement to members over the next 45 days.
